UW-Extension News Releases and institution stories http://www.uwex.edu/news/ en-US Cheryl Skjolaas <skjolaas@facstaff.wisc.edu> Madison, Wis. &#8211; Motorists driving on rural roads are likely to encounter slow moving farm vehicles through most of November and December because the harvest season has been delayed due to a wet spring and cooler temperatures. In order to get the harvest completed farmers may be operating more during low-light conditions or after dark. That means it&#8217;s time for all drivers to be especially vigilant and careful. http://www.uwex.edu/news/2009/11/watch-out-for-slow-moving-farm-equipment-on-rural-roads Thu, 05 Nov 2009 00:00:00 CST Greg Wise <greg.wise@ces.uwex.edu> <i>UW-Extension Center for Community and Economic Development honored with Chancellor&#8217;s award for civic engagement</i> http://www.uwex.edu/news/2009/11/center-provides-economic-development-solutions-for-wisconsin-communities Mon, 02 Nov 2009 00:00:00 CST Bill Ryan <web@uwex.edu> <i>Unique strengths make them vital part of a healthy local economy say UW-Extension educators</i> http://www.uwex.edu/news/2009/11/experts-see-bright-future-for-wisconsin-downtowns Mon, 02 Nov 2009 00:00:00 CST Chuck Law <cslaw@facstaff.wisc.edu> <i>Unique strengths make them vital part of a healthy local economy say UW-Extension educators</i> http://www.uwex.edu/news/2009/11/experts-see-bright-future-for-wisconsin-downtowns Mon, 02 Nov 2009 00:00:00 CST Greg Andrews <greg.andrews@ces.uwex.edu> Madison, Wis. &#8211; With the most expensive crop of corn and soybeans ever grown in Wisconsin sitting in saturated farm fields, growers have their backs against the wall this fall. To address this challenge, a group of University of Wisconsin-Extension specialists and county agriculture agents who represent the Grains Team recently developed a priority list of research-based educational resources to be rolled out immediately via their website http://fyi.uwex.edu/grain/ to help growers cope with the situation. http://www.uwex.edu/news/2009/11/extension-responds-with-resources-for-farmers-struggling-with-wet-fall Mon, 02 Nov 2009 00:00:00 CST
